Entertained

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

xD e.e

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I mean it might be a because the child could be considered an object that the clown would be entertained

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So it would be B

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no A

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I think

OpenStudy (anonymous):

intrans. verbs don't pertain to objects correct?

Awolflover1 (awolflover1):

i think intransitive is the answer The clown entertained the child. Here the verb "entertain" is used as an intransitive verb and takes no direct object.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

but the clown entertained the child. The child would be the object.
